How do I use Speedtest as a desktop app?

To use Speedtest as a desktop app, you first need to download and install the official application from the appropriate store for your operating system (e.g., the Microsoft Store for Windows or the Mac App Store for macOS) .

Once installed, launch the application and simply click the prominent “GO” button; the app will automatically run a test against the closest server, measuring your core network metrics—ping, download speed, and upload speed—and providing a result that is often considered more accurate than a browser test because it bypasses browser limitations and extensions.
